Raid Configuration Utility; Diagnostics - Digital Equipment Digital Server 3220 Series System Reference Manual

RAID Configuration Utility

If a RAID adapter is installed in the server, the RAID configuration utility appears
when you boot your server. If desired, you can skip this utility, or use this utility to
configure your RAID array during initial setup.
Refer to the RAID User's Manual on the Quick Launch CD-ROM discs. Select
the "User Documentation" button.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic software is shipped with every DIGITAL Server on the Quick Launch CD-
ROM discs. This software contains an advanced set of diagnostic utilities for
identifying and correcting problems with the server. The diagnostic software can be
used to verify proper hardware installation and isolate intermittent problems that are
not detected by the Power-On Self Test (POST).
The diagnostic program is a stand-alone MS-DOS package that can be run from
diskettes or from the DOS partition on the server's hard disk drive.
To access the supplied diagnostic software:
•
During your server installation process, the diagnostic software will be
automatically copied to a subdirectory on the Quick Launch MS-DOS
partition (only if you selected the option to create a partition). This allows
you to run the diagnostic software from the MS-DOS partition you created.
•
Using the Quick Launch CD-ROM, you can create bootable diagnostic
software diskettes. This allows you to run the diagnostic software using the
diskettes you created.
NOTE: DIGITAL strongly recommends that you copy the
diagnostics to diskettes and then use these diskettes to run
the diagnostics on your server.
To run the diagnostics from the DOS partition, perform the following:
1. At the MS-DOS prompt, type:
C:\diag\diagnose.bat
2. After the server boots, choose MS-DOS from the boot selection.
3. Once the diagnostics begin, the main screen appears.
